LSM Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.wrestlinginc.com/news/2021/12/markus-crane-passes-away-at-age-33/ I don't follow the deathmatch scene so not familiar with who this is but I'd assume some here do and haven't seen this posted elsewhere. 33 is no age at all.

Ro_y Disco Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) I've been listening to the Way Of The Blade podcast a lot recently. It's hosted by Phil Schneider of Segunda Caida/DVDVR. He has great guests (Necro Butcher, Tony Khan, Dustin Rhodes) and really interesting discussions on there. A recent episode with Jimmy Jacobs had some mad stories, including him demonstrating blading during a lecture in front of his class. I don't always agree with the kind of wrestling Phil likes (hard punches and workrate-y) but I had to check out a match they talked about on the last ep. It's from an extreme Mexican promotion I haven't heard of before - Zona 23. The show takes place in a literal junkyard. The match is between 69 year old Black Terry and 64 year old Mr. Condor. They beat the absolute shit out of each other. There is a lot of blood, and I don't even know what causes them to bleed half the time. It is wild!  Edited February 8, 2022 by Ro_y Disco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 8, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted February 8, 2022 I haven't listened to the podcast, but I've read the book - similarly, don't always agree with his tastes, but he writes well about the matches he likes, and some of them sound bonkers. I need to work my way through the whole list sometime. I've never been able to bring myself to watch a full Zona 23 show, as it veers a little too close to snuff movie territory for me, but you can't deny that it makes for some incredible visuals, so I've watched their highlight videos a lot.

poetofthedeed Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I've seen sadika in GCW and she appears to be a dangerously unsafe human being. Am I missing something or why is she getting booked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Probably just because she's a woman who'll do deathmatches, I'd imagine there's not that many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 19, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2022 surely Necro Butcher is no condition to be in a deathmatch tournament in 2022? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) I don’t know how old that photo is but he looks in the best condition I’ve ever seen him in(which isn’t saying much) Edited February 19, 2022 by TildeGuy~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 19, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted February 19, 2022 Yeah, thats old. This photo was posted online 2 years ago: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Yeah, didn't he have/had cancer? There's a vid you can find on YouTube of his CZW Hall of Fame where he looks in rough shape, to the point they've disabled comments. There was also that match with Shlak where he looked really bad too.  I watched the first rebooted XPW show and it was awful, and had about 30 people there. The end of the show was some Russo-riffic BS with Rob Black booking himself as the focal point. Wouldn't have done much to convince people to watch the next show, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HobowithaShotgun Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Morbidly curious to fly down for this show. I used to get all the XPW VHS back in the day and never thought I'd have a chance to catch it live. Would more than likely catch something at it too!

There were no actual XPW alumni on the show either so it just resembled any other random indie in a mostly empty building. The deathmatch show i may end up checking out though.

Merzbow Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 A Brodie Lee and Eddie Kingston interview just reminded me of the time Necro beat the piss out of supposed tough guy Justice Pain. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
